OS X Update 10.4.4 installation is stuck
I started the OSX update for 10.4.4 and it has been stuck in the "Installing: Optimizing System Performance" mode for 3 1/2 hours now. The blue progress bar has been at approximately 98% nearly the entire time. The stop button is grey so I can't click on it. Can I force quit the install without damaging anything? What other options do I have? When I click on the help drop down menu I get a friendly message saying "help is not available."
Can someone please help me?
Thanks

I have a hp C410 all-in-one series printer. When I updated to 10.8.1 it was no longer supported. HP told me to go to the Apple system updates and download an installation program update. I can't find that program in my Apple updates file. Please help.
From the HP Support site, this may help:)

Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it."

just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera. Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?
The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5. -
i bought htc 8x verizon employee edition and when i update it and during installation with my error phone get off and now phone stuck on some wheel running thing and wont get on please tell me if i could download the rom or anything also
Hi mnomi! Sorry to learn of the trouble you're running into with your new phone! Have you already switched the device via your My Verizon : http://vz.to/16lkVUY Once you have done this, and verify the sim card is inserted securely, the activation will begin. If the phone is stuck on the wheel and you cannot move forward, you may want to do an alternative reset. Please follow the below instructions:
1) Ensure the device is powered off.
2) Press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the right edge) until instructed to release in step 4.
3) Press and hold the Power button (located on the top-right edge) until the device vibrates (approximately 2 seconds) then release.
4) When the restore screen appears (exclamation mark), release the Volume Down button.
5) From the restore screen, press then release the following keys to initiate the reset process:
1. Volume Up button
2. Volume Down button
3. Power button
4. Volume Down button
*Allow several minutes for the process to complete (rotating gears appear on the display to indicate that the reset is in progress).
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Keep us posted if this resolves your concerns. Thanks!

service stack update 2871777 to enable installation of RDP Connection Broker on 2012 domain controller - downloaded file will not execute.
Downloaded x64 update for server 2012 R2 (KB2871777) - file downloaded is named Windows8-RT-KB2871777-x64.msu
When downloaded to server 2012 R2, upon launching the files, the message reads "Windows Update Standalone Installer"
"The update is not applicable t your computer"
If this is the wrong update please point me to the correct one - I cannot find another instance of this update anywhere.
I am unable to remove the active directory from this server, so I need to use this fix if at all possible, in order to use RDP.
I have tried every workaround I can find. The goal is to have remote users access RDP to run a remote session and access apps and files
on the server. we have Hyper-V enabled and have successfully deployed 10 RDP licenses to the license server) also on the PDC.
I read one post that suggested installing RD Connection Broker in one instance of a VM and AD DS in the other - not sure if that means we remove
AD DS from physical server. We only have one 2012 server (plus a server 2008 with Ad DS) and a server 2003. Trying to make this all work so we can deploy 10 remote desktop users.KB2871777 appears to be for 2012 (non R2) only.
As to the other problem maybe this one helps.

Software update 10.9.2 installations last minute has taken now for 45 minutes.
Anybody having same trouble?I just had this happen to me too – hung on "Completing Installation" for over an hour on the 10.9.2 update. Got confidence from this thread to restart (and things also seem fine for me), but I've had bad experiences doing that with similar system updates, so it certainly makes me more wary of applying Mac OS updates than I should need to be. I definitely expect more of Apple.

Problem installing itunes on windows 8 64bit. Installation gets stuck on Status: (blank) literally blank. I really need to install this since I have only 1 PC and i just bought the new iPhone 6.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Installation gets stuck at system restore point. what are the issues?, help me out ASAP
Hello nitinrathod29,
There are some possible fixes for this issue.
Please check the following thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/47bc6990-00f2-4d85-b3f8-9de03c637f43/visual-studio-2013-update-2rc-stucks-on-creating-system-restore?forum=vssetup

So here are them:
1. Check if you have any software which may prevent the installer from running. For example, Windows Defender or any other software which may restrict your permissions.
2. Just start the computer.
3. Run the setup as admin.
4. Check your UAC permissions.
Best regards,
Barry

i keep trying to update the software and it gets stuck on configuration, so i can i sped up the process?
Some general advice on updating:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

Smartwatch 2 not working (update does not start, SW is stuck)
Hello. I just bought SW2. I turned on NFC on my phone and placed SW2 on the back of my phone. Phone and SW2 made connection. SmartConnect was installed on my phone BUT then it wants me to install SW2 app (release date 13.12.2013). OK it installs the SW2 app and then progress bar appears on my SW2 and thats it. No progress at all. Phone just saying "downloading updates to SW2" but never starts. I waited two hours but nothing happend.
I try to describe averything I have tried in detail, hoping so that someone can help me.
I tried to use Sony Mobile Update service. I connected SW2 to my PC and Sony Mobile update service said that there is update available. So I do the update, SW2 restarts BUT then all starts over again. SW2 app is still trying to download updates but nothing happens. I tried to uninstall everything and reinstalling SmartConnect and SW2 app but that did not help.
Then I used someone elses phone. I connected SW2 with other phone than mine, pairing worked, SW2 app managed to install the updates (this is where i got stuck with my phone) on SW2 and everything worked. Then I did reset on the SW2 and paired with my phone again. Pairing seems to work. Phone says that SW2 is connected BUT nothing really works. No notifications, facebook app does not show anything. Smart Music Player does not work, Smart Camera does not work. When I click on any app that needs to interact with my phone, a "waiting bar" appears for a few seconds and then nothing, silence. Whe I turn off the bluetooth on my phone, the SW2 app says that SW is disconnected and then I trun on the bluetooth, then it connects again. SW2 and phone seems to be connected but it seems that no information is moving between them. And then there is the battery drain. When SW2 and phone are "connected", the battery on my phone lasts about 3 hours max.
So I tried the Sony Mobile Update service again. Suprisingly. update was available, even tough I did the update befoe AND with my friends phone. So i do the update again and now I am back where I started - my SW2 and phone are "connected" and SW2 app wants to install updates to SW2 but the downloading process does not start and I can not use SW2 without it. So I need my friends phone again just so that I can use SW2 as a regular watch.

I have heard that people with LG phones are experiencing the same issue...It seems that we are suffering from the same problem I also have an LG phone aswell.

I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?
I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.
